The JFK and Lincoln Coincidences
Here are a few of the "interesting" relations between
JFK and Lincoln. There may be more, but these are
the most dominant I could find.

Both
Lincoln and Kennedy were concerned with civil rights. Lincoln
was elected president in 1860; Kennedy
in 1960. Both
were killed on a Friday, and in the presence of their wives. Both
were shot from behind and in the head. Their
successors, both named Johnson, were
Southern Democrats and both were in the Senate. Andrew
Johnson was born in 1808; Lyndon
Johnson 1908. John
Wilkes Booth was born in 1839; Lee
Harvey Oswald in 1939. Booth
and Oswald were Southerners, who
favored unpopular ideas. Both
president's wives lost children through
death while in the white house. Lincoln's
secretary, whose name was
Kennedy, advised him not to go to the theatre. Kennedy's
secretary, whose name was
Lincoln, advised him not to go to Dallas. John
Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln in a theatre and ran to a ware house Lee
Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and ran to a theatre. Both
assassins were killed before being brought to trial. Both
Johnson's were opposed for re-election by men whose names started with "G".
